OpenQuestions About the Highest Numbers
What is the highest number in Mega Millions?
In Mega Millions, numbers run from 1 to 70, and you pick 5 in the main field. The number 70 itself was drawn in 5% of draws — automatically becoming the maximum each time.
What draw maximum is typical for Mega Millions?
The maximum is most often 61; the average maximum over the last 20 draws is 58.4. This means the upper part of the range shows up in almost every draw.
Does it happen that all drawn numbers are small?
Rarely, but yes: the record-low maximum of the current period is 40, meaning the whole draw fit into numbers no bigger than that. The more numbers drawn, the more likely at least one of them is large.
Should I pick numbers from the upper part of the range?
Every combination has equal odds, but big numbers carry a practical bonus: numbers above 31 are picked less often by other players because birthdays stop at 31. A big win with such a combination is more likely to be yours alone rather than split between several winners.
